Trinidad an Tobago Amphibians
The Golden Tree-frog Phyllodytes auratus can be found at the summits of Trinidad's highest peaks, El Cerro Del Aripo and El Tucuche. They live and reproduce in the pools at the centre of giant bromeliads, mainly the Tank Bromeliad, Glomeropitcairnia erectiflora. In Trinidad the bromeliad itself is confined to the moist mountain peaks. The Golden Tree-frog has not been found outside of Trinidad's northern range.
